Summer Day Camps

Our most popular summer camp! School-age children enrolled in our traditional Summer Day Camp will not want the summer to end! There'll be plenty of time to make new friends, sing, play, explore, learn, and laugh--all under the watchful eyes of fully-trained staff. Fun for kids, peace of mind for you.

For those kids who have special interests, a few select YMCA branches offer a wide variety of camps which focus specifically on special interests—like cooking, theater, water sports, science, rock climbing, and more. We even have camps for animal lovers and paintball/laser tag enthusiasts! Field trips and special guests are planned this year!

YMCA Camp Letts offers overnight camps on a scenic peninsula off the Chesapeake Bay. Our programs offer a wide variety of outdoor adventures led by trained and experienced leaders who guide kids in having an unforgettable experience. Expect new and fun activities that will not only build skills but add great new friends and character values for life.

By asking how and why, campers explore the fascinating world of science and technology through hands-on experiences. Part of each day, campers will focus on their science specialty. For the rest of the day, all campers will experience a daily dose of other fun and enriching traditional camp experiences.

These camps for teens are developed to help today's teens develop habits for healthy living and to understand social responsibility. Teens will learn the value of teamwork and helping others in an environment that is safe and that helps to build character such as respect, honesty, caring and responsibility.

Learn the latest cheers, dance routines, stunts, and choreography in the world of cheerleading and dance. Campers will have the opportunity to learn new cheers and dances, as well as, develop their own new creative routines.

Aquatic camps are designed for beginner through advanced levels. All campers will receive YMCA swim lessons along with special aquatics activities. In addition, campers will spend part of their day in land-based activities including group games, sports & fitness, music, hands-on science, arts & crafts and more! YMCA Aquatic Camps are a great way to prepare campers for the Y's swim team!

These high-energy camps will allow your child to get out and experience all that the DC region has to offer! From amusement parks and historic explorations to zoos and water parks, these camps will broaden your campers adventures beyond the walls of the YMCA.
